Oh I wouldn't hate you for saying, I'd just hate myself more for not looking longer. Part of the problem is this stuff is pretty foreign to me so I had trouble finding what I had in mind, as it was. Luckily AndyL on Canreef was able to set me up with this stuff for a pretty good deal so I was happy enough. I'm happy they're off my floor, they are gargantuan and heavy (way heavier than the light rack, there's irony). I had nightmare visions of dropping one on the tank and damaging the glass ... as it was I did drop one once and took out the eggcrate on the overflow. At least it's just eggcrate though, easily enough replaced.

John, they're just regulars. I didn't know there was a wide version of the mini's. I got them in a group order, er, about 2 years ago. Well, that's only sort of the story. I ordered two regulars initially in the group order, then decided they were too big because I want to flank the reflectors with T5's. So I traded with Michika for the mini's. Then I bought the third off Asmodeus. The irony is that even with the mini's I will still have very little clearance for the t5's. I might take a page out of Michika's/KrazyKuch's book and go with 24's mounted perpendicular. The main thing I want out of the t5's is a little actinic supplementation and a dusk/dawn effect so going with 24-inchers might just be the ticket .. they are cheaper and easier to get ahold of the 60-inchers..
